Not sure where the good thing is unless you mean you only have 6 months of repayments left on your mortgage.
If not it's getting towards time for you to be shopping around for a remortgage... Sit down when you do.

I meant 6 months left until it's all paid up.

I'm happy to lie on my backside and let @The Voice 's taxes fund this lifestyle.


It's something different...

To be truthful I’m not really happy to be lying on my backside…

I am sharing this advice in this thread because I think its far more useful to those of us in the UK than to those in SA... when shopping online go to your favourite AI tool and ask it to find you some discount codes for that site. Majority of the time it will find you good codes.
I got a 25% discount code for Charles Tyrwhitt which I then combined with a visit to the outlet store in Bicester (who gives you a base 10% discount when you let them place the order on their website). I got £99 off this coat. It arrives tomorrow.
I bought my dad a Rotary watch for Christmas and got a 20% discount code for it (saved me £70).

Time for my ILR and naturalisation apps to go in is nearing.(1st of Dec)
Question: For the Life in the UK test, do I just take out a sub to the content on www.officiallifeintheuk.co.uk or is there more to it?

Can’t wait to get this done.

I’ve no practical experience of it but there seem to be plenty of free websites that offer practice tests for free.

Have seen those and will do them too but am happy to pay the fees. At this point it’s a minor cost and I’d rather be well prepared.

If anyone would like to see what an NHS lunch looks like

Creamy garlic chicken, fried potatoes and veg



Dessert was sticky toffee pudding and custard

_

Well made, quite large and very cake like (that’s a soup spoon in it)

Not at all bad!

 

[Dave]

Not at all bad!

It’s not, I was surprised at the amount of spiced dishes they offer, the food also arrives so hot it needs to stand a couple of minutes yet the veg is still firm.

 

[Dave]

Also, this is the free NHS WiFi offered

This NHS sounds like the new Wetherspoons But seriously, that looks decent for hospital food.

Talking of mortgages; as some of you know we bought a place this year. Got 4.8% fixed for 5yrs. I think that’s not too terrible.
